    Incompatible driver Zamguard64.sys no way to delete or update

    Have you ever had Zemana Antimalware installed? If it's still installed, uninstall it.

    Open Command Prompt as administrator. Enter the following three commands, one by one - press enter after each.

    Restart your computer

    The 6/19 dump is a Driver Verifier triggered dump which is what we are looking for. It shows

    Random BSOD when waking PC from sleep, won't restart

    I deleted zamguard64.sys a while ago so it's no longer there.

    I followed the methods in this forum: Assistance - Uninstalling Zemana leaves Drivers behind? | MalwareTips Community

    Here are the steps I took if I remember correctly:

    1) Uninstalled Zemana

    2) Pasted this in CMD:

    sc stop ZAM_Guard
    sc delete ZAM_Guard
    del c:\windows\system32\drivers\zamguard64.sys


    3) Pasted this in CMD

    I will try your second advice and give an update when I'm done.
